Communication Strategies for Coaches to Limit Burnout for High School Athletes
High school sports in the United States engage approximately 7.6 million youth annually. While participation in high school sports can foster physical health, social skills, and motor competencies, maladaptive experiences such as stress, peer conflicts, and parental pressure can lead to athlete burnout. Recent research has highlighted coaches as pivotal social agents in mitigating burnout risks for athletes. Specifically, the importance of coach …
Summer Success
Background : Disadvantaged children often enter kindergarten with delays in fundamental motor skill (FMS) competence, which is critical for future physical activity engagement. The Summer Success-Successful Kinesthetic Instruction for Preschoolers (SS-SKIP) program was designed to address these developmental gaps, with a short, intensive intervention. This pilot study evaluated the impact of a 4-week SS-SKIP program on FMS, perceived motor compet…
Examining the fidelity of implementation of SKIP Cymru (Successful kinaesthetic instruction for pre-schoolers- Wales) by early childhood teachers in Wales following a programme of professional develop…
Purpose Early childhood is a crucial time to develop fundamental motor skills (FMS) such as throwing, running and kicking (Goodway, J. D., J. C. Ozmun, and D. L. Gallahue. 2019. Understanding Motor Development: Infants, Children, Adolescents, Adults. Jones & Bartlett Learning.). Existing research into the play-based early childhood curricular in Wales found that children were not making progress in learning object control skills (Wainwright, N., …
MiniMovers
The MiniMovers (MM) APP combines motor development theory with creativity expertise and has been designed to provide parents with developmentally appropriate activities to support children's motor skills. This study investigates how MiniMovers activities enabled parents to support their children's physical development. Families participated in an 8-week MM programme of activities from the MM APP (Mini, Mighty and Mega levels), with pre- and post-…
The Relationship between Physical Activity and Motor Competence of Foundation Phase Children in Wales during the School Day
Early childhood is a crucial time for children to develop their fundamental motor skills (FMS), serving as a foundation for engagement in lifelong physical activity (PA). With increasing concerns over the declining levels of PA and motor competence (MC), the aim of this study was to explore the predictors of PA in children in a play-based curriculum. A secondary purpose was to explore levels of PA and MC during the school day. The final aim was t…
The effect of a content knowledge teacher professional workshop on enacted pedagogical content knowledge and student learning in a throwing unit
Background: Recent studies have found the effects of improvements in teachers’ content knowledge (CK) on enacted pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and student learning outcomes. However, there is little research exploring the relationship between PCK and student learning in an individual fundamental motor skill-based elementary physical education setting.Purpose: The primary focus of this study was to examine the influence of teacher content kn…
Developmental sequences for observing and assessing forceful kicking
While football/soccer is the most influential sport in the world, it is surprising that developmental sequences of forceful kicking have not been adequately described and validated in the literature. The purpose of this study was to explore potential developmental sequences for forceful kicking using a prelongitudinal screening method. Data were derived from videotapes of 255 children (girls n = 138, boys: n = 117), ages 4–11 years. Seven potenti…
Participation in structured programming may prevent unhealthy weight gain during the summer in school-aged children from low-income neighbourhoods
Objective Evaluate the feasibility, fidelity and preliminary efficacy of Camp NERF to prevent unhealthy weight gain and promote healthy behaviours in children during the summer. Design Camp NERF was an 8-week, multicomponent, theory-based programme coupled with the US Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program. Twelve eligible elementary-school sites were randomized to one of three treatment groups: (i) Active Control (non-nutrition,…

A Developmental Perspective on the Role of Motor Skill Competence in Physical Activity
Although significant attention has been paid to promoting the importance of physical activity in children, adolescents, and adults, we do not currently understand how to promote sustained physical activity levels throughout the lifespan. We contend that previous research has failed to consider the dynamic and synergistic role that motor skill competence plays in the initiation, maintenance, or decline of physical activity and how this role might …
Keeping All Children Healthy
This study examined contextual factors associated with physical activity of urban African American preschoolers (N = 59). Qualitative research methodologies utilized data from home visits, caregiver and child interviews, field notes, and document collection. The primary finding suggested, "In underserved communities fundamental barriers exist that obstruct young children's ability to be physically active." Four themes were developed revealing tha…
School-based Educational Innovations
School-based educational innovations (new ideas and products) impact the quality of services offered individuals, families, and communities. Factors embedded in the context of a school often dictate whether innovations are adopted and implemented. To that end, the assessment of educational innovations should involve not only whether change occurred but also issues such as why change did or did not occur as a result of a program and its meaning to…
Facilitating social skills in urban school children through physical education
Collaborative research among university faculty, graduate students, and elementary classroom teachers was the basis for this 3-year investigation in an urban at-risk community. Data indicated that these elementary children (pre-K through Grade 6) had little understanding of or respect for personal space, showed force-control problems, exhibited escalating behaviors of physical force and violence, and missed valuable instructional and physical act…
